Parliament is, dissolved, but this ordinarily
occurs about once in four years. Recently
these elections have been more frequent, the
condition of political sentiment being more
disturbed. As regards election expenses.
Mr.. Chamberlain says that some candidates
are assessed to pay their election expenses.
In many cases, however, constituents pay
every penny Of the expense. The committee
which waited on John Bright to ask him to
stand for Parliament would not allow him to
subscribe anything for the expenses of the
canvass, and since that day Mr.. Bright has
never subscribed anything TO campaign funds,
AT the last election Mr. Chamberlain's con-
stituents paid his expenses. Bnt all eandi-
dates are not so fortunate. The law re-
quires that an itemized schedule Of his cam
paign expenses shall be published by can
didate within certain time after election,
and these published statements show that it
is often very costly to stand, as the English
express it, for Parliament. Sir G. o. Ire
velyan's expenses at recent by-election
amounted to several thousand dollars. Mr.
Chamberlain also says that in the eleven
years that he has represented Birmingham
in Parliament he has not been asked for a
position by one Of his constituents.

The reception which John l.. Sullivan is
meeting in England must be quite overpow-
ering, even to man who has borne up
under the adulation of hundreds of bolster
GUS Americans. At the railway station in
London he was greeted by such crowds that
the police were utterly unable to clear way
for him to his carriage; and on Wednesday
night his first appearance at st. James Hall
drew tremendous audience in spite of the
fact that it was raining and that it was Lord
Mayors day, 1t is interesting to note that
In the audience were the Marquis Of Queens
berry, the Marquis Of Ailesbury, Lord Man
deville, Lord DeClifford, Sir John Ashley
and many other members of the nobility and
gentry. The Marquis Of Ailesbury has Just
been disgraced as thoroughly as it is posi-
BILE for an English nobleman to be dsgraced
by being warned off Newmarket Heath for
directing his jockey to pull favorite rae
ing horse. Queensberry and Ashley are also
names that have been heard in America,
though not in connection with such disrepu-
table practices as have disgraced Ailesbury
None Of the mobiles, however, of the coterie
that took the best seats to see Slugger Sulli-
van, were probably much above the crowd
that was gathered with them in qualities of
craftsmanship. One certainly is an outcast
from English society because he is a sneak,
even in his gambling Yet these men are
hereditary legislators each, except Ashley
entitled or in position at some time to be
entitled, to a vote in the House of Lords
equal in influence to the vote of a Salisbury
or a Roseberry.

Here individual taste asserts itsels and the
room may be furnished according to ones
fancy. Monocromatic effects are the most
frequently sought after, and, if properly re-
l1eved by contrasting colors are very salts
factory Oak furniture in blue room will
deprive it of that cold, insipid look, as will
a terra Gotta frieze, or Indian red mating.
A red room may have bronze green wood
work lined with scarlet and pale green walls,
and still be distinctiyely a red room from the
appointments and the cherry furniture.
Yellow rooms shading to brown are effective,
and green rooms are improved by pale pink
trimmings. The woodwork should in all
cases be darker than the walls. and, if there
be picture moulding, let it underline the
frieze. Flat tints, stars and consultations
make appropriate ceilings. Avoid stripes
and clrcling figures for wall paper. They
produce optical decisions that become mad
denlng when one must gaze at them for a
protracted period Quilted satin of the pre-
vaillng color of the room may be let into the
walls, but 1t is of questionable taste unless it
can be renewed as soon as soiled. In the
same category is white room which must
be constantly renewed to be even presentible
with multiplicity of rooms, one can, per-
haps, keep white room spotless, but let
footprint show on the white velvet carpet, or
finger mark on the satin walls, and the
room is no longer pretty. Oscar Wilde has a
white dining room which is, no doubt, as he
intended it. restful place for tired eyes,
but such surroundings would degenerate in
homes where the lily au naturel is suspend
ed by mess of pottage and the idol for
whom this offering is prepared has feet of
clay. An Anglo-J japanese bed room had a
brass bedstead canopied with silk hanging
from suspended japanese umbrella; para

made frieze and the lambrequins were
straw splashers. Do not have toilet articles
too nice for use, hair-brush so frail that il
can never be cleaned, and pin-cushions too
nice to stick pins in, nor the pillow shams so
delicate that they become cause of conten-
ton. Large ornamental bags may be made
for soiled clothes round pockets, shirred to
fancy centre piece, for stockings; and shoes
may be concealed in an ottoman. Closets
may be improvised by stretching wire
across a corner of the room just below the
ceiling and hanging from it curtain. An
aesthetic young woman who found it neceS-
sary to combine dressing room, bedroom and
boudoir in one. covered the walls of her
sanctum with manillaIpaper and splashed ii

when closed resembled an ebony cabinet

chains and gay rugs dotted the black floor.

Pere Hyacinthe told some Philadelphians
who met him in Paris that he hopes to come
to this country again next year, to lecture
and to raise additional funds for the relig-
ious movement that he has undertaken in
France.
The Paris Gaulois has this news item
about an American family abroad "Mr

Carolus Duran, and their daughters by

some time, and then to Trieste, where their
yacht awaits them for a cruise in the Medi-

Vermont has opened State home for de-
pendent veterans of the war. The State OF
Connecticut has Soldiers Home for this
purpose, and for years has made provision
for the care Of old soldiers who are unable
to care for themselves. New York has a

lands substitute recently found place to

Courant, many self-lespecting soldiers

Mr.. Chamberlain, who witnessed the cleo
ton in New York city Tuesday, has given
an interesting description Of the difference,
in the English and American methods of
voting. In all English elections, except for
school trustees. electors vote for one of two
men, whose names are put on the ticket TO-
gether, with blank spaces on which the voter
may put a pencil mark over against the
name of the candidate for whom he wishes
to vote. In the election for school trustees
the parish authorities select thirty names
from each parish and send a printed list of
the same to every voter. The latter checks
off fifteen names out of the thirty names and
votes this ballot Anyone may send his
name to the authorities announcing that he
Is candidate for election to the office of
trustee. In England elections do not occur
so frequently as in this country In Mr..
Chamberlain's city of Birmingham there are
forty-eight town committeeman and sixteen
aldermen. The latter are elected by the for
mer, whose term of Office is for three wears

Not long ago there was Republican re-
volt in Rhode Island led by the Provi-
dence Journal. The revolt was successful
and seated a Democratic Governor Here
is what the Journal now says of the re-
suits of its performance: The conduct of
the Democratic party since it came into
power in the State has been so violent, in
considerate and injudicious as to ALLEVIATE
the element of good citizenship, which gave
it the victory last spring, and the manage
ment of the present campaign has been con-
spicuous for the presence of the disreputable
element upon the platform and in the eau

party is not reform party, and can never
repress its worst passions beyond linz
tied time

Patrick Ford, editor of the Irish World,
claims the credit of the defeat of the George
party for himself and the Catholic church.
There is no doubt that the teachings of the
Catholic church as voiced by Archbishop
Corrigan, were very potent against George
in drawing away followers led into the
United Labor camp by Dr. McGlynn year
ago. Whether Mr. Ford was anywhere near
so potent an influence may well be doubted.

The evidence against Gen. Carrafel, who
is accused of selling decorations in France,
is conclusive, but it appears that the stories
that he was but one of many prominent men
engaged in the business is likely to be shown
to be unfounded. The charge of this against
NJ. Wilson, Grevy's son-in-law, has been
withdrawn, and there is no evidence to i'm

A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY.
TSt. John Sun

1t is the prerogative Of the Canadian
House of Commons to make laws affecting
the collection or disposal Of the revenue OF
Canada. The United States Congress5is the
ruling power in all matters affecting the
revenue of the United States. 1t is proposed
by few politicians that a new system be
devised under which one authority shall ar
range these matters for both countries.
This cannot be done without taking from
the Canadian Parliament its authority to
enact tariff laws. For whatever the taxing
authority may be it is evident that it cannot
be responsible at the same time to the Par
liaments of two countries. One country
would unquestionably be subject to the will
of the other Canada has one-tenth the pop
ulatiOn of the United States
